Drop the gRPC communication to nfd-master and connect to the Kubernetes
API server directly when updating NodeResourceTopology objects.
Topology-updater already has connection to the API server for listing
Pods so this is not that dramatic change. It also simplifies the code
a lot as there is no need for the NFD gRPC client and no need for
managing TLS certs/keys.
This change aligns nfd-topology-updater with the future direction of
nfd-worker where the gRPC API is being dropped and replaced by a
CRD-based API.
This patch also update deployment files and documentation to reflect
this change.
The base should really have the very bare minimum. Remove all redundant
(at default-value) args and move the others to the specific
topologyupdater kustomize component. This also makes these settings
re-usable in user-specific overlays (that are not based on
topologyupdater-daemonset).
- create an overlay for deployment of all components
- create an overlay for just topologyupdater deployment (to be deployed in
conjunction with the default overlay)
- create a separate overlay for deployment of master and topologyupdater-job
